The more I think about it, the more I think its BS. If it were truly possible with those few mods, surely several others would have done it by now.

I talked in person to Joe @ Dynospeed a couple weeks ago. Some cars are - what do you call it...factor wonders or something? Cars from the factory that are just way better than average.

He pointed me to a Mustang that he did a basic whipple HO install on, an otherwise stock car. First run on the dyno and it put down 505 rwhp when most other cars would have put down about 460. He ended up pulling it back to something more conservative.

there are factory freaks, but not 50-60hp more than normal.

i suppose it could have been a generous dyno as well???
But it is a pretty decent mod list

That mod list is good for 340rwhp, maybe 350rwhp due to the water pump.

This car only got 325hp/341tq
Steeda CAI w/elbow, Dyno tune, JBA L/T's, O/R H-pipe, exhaust, U/D's, CMCV, spydershaft

Kenne bell claims 20 HP from electric water pump, maybe they forgot to mention some head work.
But another magazine car also claimed over 400 rwhp, although it was a stroker.

No prob, I copied from another members sig. But you need to put the spydershaft back.

Are those numbers truly possible NA? I apologize if this is nothing special, but I swear those are non-intercooled SC numbers.

Am I missing something here???
